Preeminence

Lamp-post of new morning

Brightens land and sea

Time is still adorning

Mercy’s patient plea

Hope, hunger and heartache

Human-heart alloy

Bids us humbly partake

Of both grief and joy

Soon the swoon of dawning

Pales and deepens to

Noontide-valor spawning

Dusk’s indigo blue

Lamp-post of new morning

Wakens you and me

God’s grace still adorning

Pre-eternity

1 Cor. 1:18

'It would be an exceptionally-beautiful morning', I remark to Victoria as we wait for the bus,
 'if it was January!'
 -10C this morning and downright b-r-r-r-r!!
